CMA Awards 2011: Country music award winners, best dresses and performances

The CMA Awards 2011 offered up a little bit of something for everyone on Wednesday.  If you’re interested in the night’s big winners, then hats off to the likes of Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, and of course, Taylor Swift (you can read the full list of winners below).

If you love great performances, then you’ll be happy to know that Faith Hill rocked the house, while Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, and Vince Gill honored Glen Campbell with a medley of songs.

Glen, who is battling Alzheimer’s disease, was truly moved by Urban, Paisley, and Gill’s performance.  As was everyone else in attendance.

And if you’re interested in who was the best dressedperson of the night, who had the sexiest dress, and who looked like they dressed themselves in the dark, look no further than the photo slideshow to your left  (be on the lookout for Miss Piggy standing on-stage alongside host Carrie Underwood).
